My oldest fish is a 5 year old tashio sanke (koi) i've had him since i started with a crummy 20 gallon water garden, but moved up to an 800 gallon pond.. he's pretty big, about two and a half feet

awesome.. and he is huge.... thats a nice pond..
 
im not sure on age of some of mine as i did get them at a good size from customers and private sales etc... but the fish that ive kept for the lonest is a tiger oscar had him over 4yrs now and hes going nowhere. Ive also got a big albino oscar which i got almost 4yrs ago but it was already just under 1' when i got it so i expect it to actually be closer to 5-6yrs.

200|+ year old carp...

"Hanako is the name of this Koi that lived at the base of Mt. Ontake. When Dr. Koshihara would call Hanako from across the pond, she would come to his feet to be petted on the head. Occasionally he would take her out of the pond and embrace her. This was his favorite spot at the side of the pond, and he went there often."
